From wars that Japan had caused, pacific war, Japan pursues power and they are very conservative.
A
People of Japan
R
Because the rulers of the Japan wanted to have power over their people and didn't want to lose the power.
T
Japanese wanted to be isolated from the Western influence.
S
By reading this document and the things listed below, we can see that these issues were very extreme by that time, since you get killed just by bringing in foreign ideas from other nations. The rulers didn't want their people to be informed and smart.
The unification of Japan and the creation of a lasting national polity in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth
centuries required more than just military exploits. Japan’s “three unifiers,” especially Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536‐
1598) and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543‐1616), enacted a series of social, economic, and political reforms in order to
pacify a population long accustomed to war and instability and create the institutions necessary for lasting central
rule. Although Hideyoshi and Ieyasu placed first priority on domestic affairs — especially on establishing authority
over domain lords, warriors, and agricultural villages — they also dictated sweeping changes in Japan’s
international relations.
In the 1630s, the Tokugawa shogunate took a series of steps to further restrict Japan’s international contacts. By
1639, the Dutch were the only Europeans permitted to come to Japan, and the conditions under which they were
allowed to trade and interact with Japanese were extremely circumscribed by the Tokugawa authorities. The
following edict of 1635 was issued by the shogunate to the officials administering the busy port of Nagasaki, the
site of most of Japan’s foreign contacts at the time.
1. Japanese ships are strictly forbidden to leave for foreign countries.
2. No Japanese is permitted to go abroad. If there is anyone who attempts to do so secretly,
he must be executed. The ship so involved must be impounded and its owner arrested, and the
matter must be reported to the higher authority.
3. If any Japanese returns from overseas after residing there, he must be put to death.
4. If there is any place where the teachings of padres (Christianity) is practiced, the two of
you must order a thorough investigation.
…
7. If there are any Southern Barbarians (Westerners) who propagate the teachings of
padres, or otherwise commit crimes, they may be incarcerated in the prison maintained by the
Ōmura domain, as was done previously.
…
10. Samurai are not permitted to purchase any goods originating from foreign ships directly
from Chinese merchants in Nagasaki.
Identify the causes of African slavery.
The main cause was lack of labor force in the colonies. Since there were only explorers who were not familiar to labor and few people that who actually produced food, they lacked labor. First they tried to use Native Americans, but they were very aggressive and most of them died out of germs.
Explain the Triangular Trade Route.
Triangular trade used generically to refer to trade between three nations, specifically used in reference to slave trade. In this case, it starts from American shipping sugar cane to Europe. And Europe, they send manufacturing goods and clothes to America and Africa. From Africa, slaves were sent to America.
Identify the consequences of the slave trade.
The unique thing about this trade was that African rulers were already using slaves on their own, and they had sold the slaves to European. Results and the impacts resulted from this trade was very huge. Even though slave trade was like the biggest flaw in our history, it had resulted some positive things today. Due to slavery, the culture became diverse in America. However, there are more negative effects. It was the major reason that caused segregation.

Juan Ponce De Leon
Explorer's full name and country sponsoring the exploration
Juan Ponce De Leon, Spain
Dates of voyage(s)
His first voyage begun in 1508, second voyage, the route on the map, begun in 1521.
Size of fleet
For first voyage: 50 men
second voyage: 2 ships and 200 men.
And most importantly a summary of their (AND YOUR) discoveries/achievements and/or results of each journey. (I should see both positive AND negative results of their voyages!)
In 1521 he went on his second voyage to Florida, with 200 men. They embarked at the shore of Florida, they were attacked by the Native Americans.

Dates of voyage(s)
1519
Size of fleet
600 men
And most importantly a summary of their (AND YOUR) discoveries/achievements and/or results of each journey. (I should see both positive AND negative results of their voyages!)
Hernan Cortes went on a voyage to North America, where is Mexico today, he had conquered the Aztecs with his force of 600 men and 16 horses. However, what's interesting is that, at first the Aztecs first treated him as god, and showed hospitality. Since the Aztecs were totally opened, Cortes easily seized the goods, especially gold. Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus, Spain
Dates of voyage(s)
He made 4 voyages, first in 1492.
Size of fleet
For this trip, 100 caravels were engaged.
And most importantly a summary of their (AND YOUR) discoveries/achievements and/or results of each journey. (I should see both positive AND negative results of their voyages!)
Christopher Columbus went on his voyage to find America in 1492, and returned in 1496. His major achievement was that he brought inspiration and excitement at opened the age of exploration. PORT 1: Getting ready for the voyage - Start your EXPLORER'S JOURNAL (which you need to create with partner) with your CORNELL notes from Chapter 3, Section 1 of MWH pp. 92-101.
Next add your discussion of these questions:
The Age of Exploration:Would you go?
The 15th and 16th century were a time of exploration and discovery for European nations. Taking advantage of new maritime knowledge and inventions, European powers undertook sea expeditions to expand their trade and influence.
What possible rewards might come from exploring the seas for new lands?
Since the new land is completely preserved and not had been touched by humans, excluding the natives, the land must have many resources and goodies that had not been used by humans. Also other than resources, the land itself can be another major reward. If nobody owns it, the very first person to reach their gets to take all of the land. However, more than just material stuff, the biggest reward might be given to you must be the freedom. Europe, at that time was very strict with religious things and many people actually had complaints about the rules. And this was one of the major reason why people went out on a voyage.
What are the risks involved in embarking on a voyage into the unknown?
This voyage involves a lot of risks because none of the crew will exactly know what the unknown place will be like. There might be dangers like extreme climate changes, or diseases. And even before they'd reached the land, dangers also lie on the ocean. Pirates might attack you, or the ship might sink because of bad weather.
What will you do if you actually run into other people?
At first, I will try to communicate with them and show as much hospitality as possible. This is because they must be more familiar to the region since they were here before I was and I am not sure how this place is like. I will persuade them and ask for help to the people I meet in the new land. Before You Leave
Your final task before leaving for the long voyage is FOR BOTH to look up ONE piece of new navigation technology you will be using so that you can teach your partner about how you will be using it. THIS INFORMATION COULD SAVE YOUR LIVES! Simply, search for ONE of the following tools and write a few sentences describing WHAT the instrument is and HOW it is used. (You can also look at p. 97 in your text to get you started.)
Astrolabe
Sextant
Compass
Caravel
I believe the caravel, which is the ship, is the most important instrument that will help me travel to the unknown land. This is because, before everything else we must need a transportation that will safely take us to the destination. Navigation tools are essential too, but they are optional compared to the actual transportation.
